Hi friends, follow the photos of my last creation.
It is a gaucho knife, forged in carbon steel 52100, of integral construction.
Handle in Jacaranda da Bahia, in oval format, pommel and "ball" in stainless steel, both polished, knob with random cuts made with goldsmith's saw.
Collar and fake wire carved from the file and polished.
Pig leather sheath with exotic leather dyed and hand stitched.

I'm a professional chef and have handled dozens of knives, from the fine to the frightful. I know what a chef's knife needs to be able to do and how it has to handle. I have several designs for a variety of uses and hand types. They are both beautiful to look at and practical in a professional's hands.

Here I let my imagination run wild - I have made strange and unusual tools like the medieval brain drill for a retiring surgeon and the ancient scalpels for a doctor's office. My art knives are always properly forged, heat treated and tempered. No shortcuts just because they are for "show"...
